State-Run Media Trots Out 19 Year-Old Porn Star to Rain On Palinpalooza
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 4:07 PM
Hah-Hah
The state-run media is so desperate to bring down Sarah Palin that they are using 19 year-old porn star and deadbeat dad Levi Johnston to smear the Alaskan mother.
Don’t worry kid. Your time in the media spotlight will be up soon enough.
CBS News reported:
Sarah Palin talked tough about the father of her grandson on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” that aired Monday — and Levi Johnston is giving it right back.
Johnston watched with cameras from “The Insider” rolling as Palin was interviewed by Winfrey and, says “The Insider” ‘s Chris Johnson, took exception again and again to things Palin was saying about him:
Palin: (It’s) a bit heartbreaking to see the road that he is on right now.
Johnston: I think she’s going out and talking and she’s just digging a bigger hole for herself.
Palin: (It’s) kind of this aspiring — aspiring porn, some of the things that he’s doing — it’s kind of heartbreaking.
Winfrey: The (upcoming) Playgirl centerfold (photo spread)?
Palin: Right. I call that porn. Yes.
Johnston: I just look at her in disgust. … It’s almost funny, that she’s like, 46 years old, and she’s battling a 19 year old, and I’m winning. And I’m telling the truth. She’s lying and losing. … If you look at her face, she’s got — she’s really — you can tell her mind’s going 100 miles an hour when Oprah asked her those Levi questions. … I’ve got a lot more knowledge and credibility than she gives me credit for.
Maybe Levi should call Cindy Sheehan to find out how this story ends.

I remember when I was 19, and knew everything, too. But, THAT is just sad….
What a POS.

Meaning he has what he always wanted – money, and women drooling all over him in spite of his emotional abuse of his former fiancee.
What he does not have is respect, but respect is not valued any more.

Is this child abuse?

Levi is a flash in the pan, without the flash and a pan filled with urine…..flush!!!

Levi Johnston the man-child salad tosser bought and paid for by Soros to act the part of a village idiot.
Moonbat Killer commented:
cant wait to see how tiny his pecker is.
Joel commented:
I blame the main stream media for airing anything this child has to say.
The media is hell-bent on destroying Sarah Palin since she is a conservative star with great leadership potential.
Conservative voters see right through the media’s attempts to tarnish her and their efforts will empower her even more.
She is the closes personality we have to Ronald Reagan and his style of leadership is just what America needs…let alone the world.
HatlessHessian commented:
I nominate Levi for Liberal Posterchild. As usual, it is impossible to find a liberal who doesn’t have a trainwreck for a life and an absolute lack of ethical presence. Deviant, delusional, destructive, deranged, disfunctional, Democrat.
Dell commented:
If the punk had anything of significance against SP, we ALL would have heard about it long ago. He’s pi..ing in the wind and a year from now he’ll be little more than what he is today; a gold-digging, over-sexed punk kid. He should be extremely careful what he says; there are laws against what he’s contemplating. Personally, if it was my daughter and grandchild involved, he would be legally prevented from ever getting close to either one of them again as long as he is lucky enough to live….but, that’s just me.
NeoKong commented:
That kid needs a smack in the head bigtime.
Is he such a selfish fool that he wants to alienate himself from the family of his child and try to humiliate them for a little money….?
After all we have seen I pity any woman who would go near that kid.
He’s a bleepin loser.
J in Alaska commented:
Little Levi should really be more careful of his big mouth. I happen to come from big ol’ Wasilla and it is pretty common knowledge around town that his dear Mommy was not the only one supplying Oxy around town… Ask around Wasilla High.
What a loser he is, complete white trash. I wish that they would stop giving him press, he is a no one. He claims he wants custody of his child, yet he isn’t even in the state, and how does he think his son will view him when he grows up? Bashing his family? Really classy Levi.
shiba07 commented:
levi is a total loser. why does he think he’s more credible then sarah? whatever he’s smoking he needs to stop, way too delusional.
richwill commented:
I will be happy to applaud the train wreck this jerk will have in the future. I await the time that he will say that he had sex with or that Sarah made sexual advances toward him. In one interview he hinted that he had some secrets to tell when the time was right. The media will use him for as long as Sarah is on the front page. He will, at some time in the future, be able to join Cindy S. at Martha’s Vineyard. The media threw her under the bus when they were finished with her and so will be the fate of Levi.
jenny commented:
My goodness, they are desperate aren’t they? A 19 year old with a grudge is the best they can do? Very sad state of affairs for the anti-Palin crowd. I almost feel bad for him when they finally kick him to the curb . . . almost. Cindy Sheehan redux.
Anonymous commented:
That kid sure sounds like some of the loser trolls around here.
anonymous commented:
He is a loser. I wish this guy will go away. He is making this stuff about about Palin. It is between Palin’s daughter, Bristol and Levi.
TheScribbler commented:
Have you seen his latest? A commercial for pistachios. I saw it the other night and it just turned my stomach. Ann Coulter is right, he’s trailer trash.

The more the media tries to destroy her, the more powerful she gets. People are taking a second and third look at her because of all the buzz. Many will eventually come to the conclusion that they may have misjudged her.
Has anyone noticed that except for Barry’s Bow, Sarah has eclipsed him in the news this week?
georgiaguy commented:
He’s the same guy that was trotted out on stage at the Convention to show how stable the Palin family was, but now HE’S trailer trash? Their daughter had the child out of wedlock, but HE’S the trailer trash? And Hatless, do you REALLY think all liberals are train wrecks? I am a successful liberal, and I don’t think such awful thoughts about all conservatives, or Republicans. So much anger here…

TaSS commented:
He’s being used by the media and those with a political agenda.
He’s 19. He’s an adult and he gets to make all the bad choices he wants. I just hope he remembers, he has a child involved.
IOpian commented:
Why should an adult even care what an inexperienced nineteen boy thinks. Anybody that fathers a child and won’t live up to his responsibility is about the lowest form of life. She’s attacking you because you have attacked her dumbass. Open a dictionary and look up the word slander. I hope the Palins slap a suit on your ass. Your being played, idiot.

Levi reminds me of the Keanu Reeves line from Parenthood: “You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car – hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they’ll let any butt-reaming a$$hole be a father.”

Useful tool as long as it benfits the democrat thugs then on the garbage heap. The ditch witch was a good example. When the democrats are done making fools of them they can’t get a job at McDonalds.
Coffee Bean commented:
I’ve been so disgusted with things that I haven’t been blogging much or keeping up with the political scene as I should. I’m not much of a tv watcher… however, I did tune into Oprah yesterday to catch the Palin interview. It was pretty much what I expected. I caught part of Inside Edition at the gym last night and was appalled by the spin they put on the interview…
Then today I turned on the tv after running around all day… the channel was still tuned to the channel the Oprah show is on and it was on again. I was mortified. I did not watch all of it but it was essentially about how American women are more into porn and seemed to be talking about it in a positive light. I find that interesting that this show aired the day after the Palin interview when she said she called Play Girl porn.
This is my favorite political blog and I came here to see if you had anything about it. There is something so very wrong here… There is no doubt that programs like SNL and stupid celebrity “news” shows have created a voice in the political arena. My Lord!!!!
Bogdan from Australia commented:
Hi georgia gay! Succesful in what? In a self-fluffering as any other communo-fascist, erroneruosly called “liberal”?
An as for that little jerk being presented at Rep. convention… Yes he has his chance then and he blew it.
And you leftoid jerks are having your own chance right now. Under the “leadership” of that DEMON – soetoro (he doesn’t even deserve to have his “name” started with a capital “S”).
And you are blewing it handsomely. Whe you finally loose, you will be called to account and made to explain for the damage you are doing to your great country.
And be sure… the bill you are going to receive won’t be looking pleasantly.
Even my own, even sillier jerks here Down Under are beginning to wake up…
anon commented:
I’m a few months away from being 19 and I am way more impressed with how Palin is handling herself. I thought Palin being on Oprah would be a Couric-like disaster, but she carried herself extremely well.
Funny how at this moment she has several reviews of her book that mock conservatives (they give it 5 stars to hide this), and certain reviews have hundreds of comments bashing conservatives. Liberals believe she is a threat because she is. She stands for everyday Americans more than elitists ever will.
Palin reached out to Levi, hopefully in 20 years he’ll see is just another liberal pawn.
Bill commented:
Pity that Sarah and McCain didn’t win. McCain could have died on the potty, then Levi, having known a gravy train when he saw it could be the First Douche. Now, he’s not even a third rate douche.
What’s amazing is how the mainstream is just laughing at the loser when they’re not taking pity on his kid and exGF for having such a sorry excuse for a sperm donor. Even The Soup (hardly right wing in any respect) has him on par with Spencer Pratt. But the beautiful people keep bringing him out hoping that the rest of America will buy into his flim flam like they did.
Bogdan from Australia commented:
Speaking about treatment Sarah is receiving from the so called “mass media”.
Drawing from my personal experience when I was still living in Poland under the communo-fascist occupation, I can only state that this treatment is even worse than the dissidents and oppositionists to the communist regime used to receive from the tools of a communist propaganda.
In Poland no matter what they wrote, nobody, even the “journos” themselves, would believe them so the impact was minimal. For that very reason those in charge of propaganda tools have been much more restrained in their attacks on the people active in an opposition to the communo-fascist regime.
In the so called “Western world” majority of the sheeple (as presented by the idiot calling himself “georgia guy”) seem to be suffering from a “brain shrinkage syndrome”, that’s why they are so susceptible to the lies being spread by mass media.

I never thought that someone could show up on the national spotlight who would make Paris Hilton look intelligent. Well I was wrong. Levi, you are officially the stupidest person out there. I mean you have to deal with the ENTIRE Palin family for the rest of your life (that is if you don’t go the deadbeat dad path, which I give you a 50/50 chance of doing) and you’re going out trashing the matriarch of the clan and potential most powerful person in the world if she gets elected. In the next Websters Dictionary they are going to have your photo next to the word “stupid”. It’s won’t be a photo from Playgirl as they will be used for the definition of “small”.
Ann commented:
God bless Sarah.!! What a wonderful dignified and compassionate but tough lady.
I know all of us get so angry at what is going on in our country and that we should.
Sarah’s Christian character really shown through in that it is always heartbreaking when any older or young person gets trapped on that deceptive road to perdition.
He’s a loser even if he wins this game they’re playing with him. He lost the right to be a husband, a father and a decent citizen in a civilized society and he slowly losing his soul to this corrupt lying cartel that’s headed downhill like a snowball headed for he**.
The big boys he’s dealing will no doubt have him for breakfast when they are finished with him. They dispose of humans like they grind up aborted children in the garbage disposal or dump them in trash bins. He will, one day, wake up feeling, raped and stripped naked in the alley’s gutter where the rest of “used idiots’ now lay with the incompacity for healthy relationships and innocent and natural affections. It’s really is a pity what he will miss out on.

georgiaguy commented:
Gee, Bogdan, “georgia gay”? that’s unnecessary. We’ll overlook your atrocious grammar, spelling and syntax as a probable product of English being your second language, but am I an idiot simply because I disagree with you?
And Gini, how would you know if I were successful or not if I didn’t say so, since you don’t know me? Besides, I was responding to HatlessHessian, who said that all liberals were train wrecks. We are not.
Not much in the way of intelligent discussion here. I must admit, I’m a little disappointed.
Joanne commented:
It was said on the tv today that Levi had decided to not go ahead with the porn pictures for Play Girl.
Coffee Bean – I watched a little of Oprah’s show today, and the porn star thought people could see the love between herself and her partner (her husband at the time). Sorry, but I’m pretty sure that was not what people were seeing or looking at for that matter. People should really learn to acquire some self-respect before they regret their foolish actions.
jas commented:
Hah, this Levi is one sharp tack, in fact I can remember when I knew everything.
Carry on Sarah, you’re doing fine.
cobra commented:
Yep, a real classy schmuck…
Bogdan is so right. Only after living under the real deal communism you can see how close is the USA from losing everything to the commies.
if we do not stop this Hussein right away, our country and the entire free world is in danger.
Because if the US fails to the commies, who will defend freedom around the world?
Putin, the Chavez clown from Venezuela or the chicoms?
it is as serious as that.

Okay, let’s fight fire with fire! Find Obama’s half-brother, the one who lives barefoot and shirtless in a garbage dump. Fly him over here and interview him for his opinions about how his brother, who won’t pretends he doesn’t know him, is such an A-hole.

Georgiaguy,
Perhaps some here were confused when you wrote this:
I am a successful liberal, and I don’t think such awful thoughts about all conservatives, or Republicans. So much anger here…
They assumed you were successful in life. It appears that you meant you were a successful liberal.
georgiaguy commented:
Chisum, good point, bad syntax on my part. I meant that I am a politically liberal/progressive person who also has a successful career and a non-trainwreck life.
But I question Bogdan’s thinking on this administration being anything like the Communism of Europe in the past century. No repression crushed with tanks, no one has been “disappeared”. Scattered acts of violence are sad, and to be condemned, regardless of where they come from, but dissidents are not being prosecuted, persecuted, imprisoned, or killed. America is a LONG was from Communism, and no one I know in the progressive community wants Communism here.
Gandalf commented:
Only scum would defend or even listen to Levi. He is a less classy gollum. Not worth spit on the street.
georgiaguy commented:
And, as long as we’re discussing success, I would think that since the President and both houses of Congress are Democratic, then I AM a successful liberal!
Mike W commented:
a successful liberal is someone who made millions studying the sexual reproduction of a rock because they got a grant from other successful liberals in Congress.
and oh BTW when a successful liberal says we won that really means everyone loses

“He’s a douche’s douche”
I probably used poor word choice earlier. Even douches take another street when he’s around.
“It’s won’t be a photo from Playgirl as they will be used for the definition of “small”.
douche is not a good word to describe him… But there’s always “little pr*ck”
Tom63010 commented:
He is so stupid he had to have his name tattooed on his forearm so he wouldn’t forget. If you dig a little deep you probably find that he has printed it backwards from looking in the mirror.

———————————————–
Being trotted out at the convention isn`t part of the criteria for being described as trailer trash. Neither is having a child out of wedlock the criteria for being described as trailer trash. You`ve presented two straw-man arguments.
Where his description as trailer trash comes from is in how he`s chosen to deal with his unexpected and undeserved notoriety. People with class will do their utmost to keep their own lives and the lives of the people they`re connected with private. Trash will do everything in their power to capitalize on those same relationships without concerning themselves with consideration of how this cause others to view them in the unforeseeable future.
Levi Johnston? Yes. Pure trash.

The progressives want to turn us into them, to make us feel as deprived and depraved and deadened. It’s the only way that they can silence the roar of shame and self-loathing.
What they don’t understand is this: it’s not going to happen.
There are too many of us who won’t be hypnotized.
We can see right through them. We know who they are: the most piteous of human beings, and the most dangerous. Men without a country, orphans far from home. The forsaken and disowned.
They’re “hungry ghosts,” to use a Tibetan phrase: tormented
beings who are starving to death from their inner nothingness.
Mother Teresa was once asked how she coped with serving the poorest of the poor in Calcutta. She responded that what she saw in the cities of the United States was much more disturbing, because it was a “poverty of the spirit.”

Georgia Guy
America is a LONG was from Communism, and no one I know in the progressive community wants Communism here.
You may not want communism but if your guy gets his way that is what you and we will get. What do you call the colusion between the state and the media? Remember Pravda? What do you call the nationalization of private industry with no regard for stockholders who have put their life savings in these corporations?
What do you call the looting of the treasury and putting us close to bankruptcy or putting us into hock to the Chinese? What do you call alienating all our allies and sucking up to our enemies? Are you so out of touch that you don’t realize that lib policies are what caused this recession? They assured the whole country that Fannie and Freddie were in sound condition and less than a year later they both failed. They refused the regulation Bush asked for 17 times. They refuse to change the CRA that caused this mess in the first place. They still want people to own houses they can’t pay for. They want you and me to pay for them. It is a time bomb ticking away for the future.
They assured the whole country that Social Security and Medicare were not in trouble but, guess what, they now say both are broke. What do you suppose will happen when the dollar tanks to almost nothing? What about the nationalzation of our health care system? This is about control and nothing else. Are you fool enough to believe congress has our best interests at heart? What about cap and trade? Do you seriously believe that congress cares that probably four million more jobs will be lost with the cessation of coal mining? I can assure you they don’t care. They care about money and ower exclusively. Or do you have your head in the sand and refuse to contemplate all these issues? How can you support these policies with a clear mind knowing these policies are slowly destroying this country and the things we all believe in?
How do you like being lied to and never able to rely on someone’s word? Being a liberal used to mean caring about your fellow citizens. Now it is about power and money and vote buying. Do you honestly think the blacks are better off economically living in the gettos with victimhood the libs thrust on them. Wake up, Bub. Your party has changed and left you behind as so many former democrats have said.

A lot of people might be forgetting that it’s Bristol who is caught in the middle. She has to live her life with, as Obama notably quoted to approving nods of all folks as to the common sense of it, having “messed up despite the advice of her parents,” knowing that this ex-BF and father of her child is using her slip of youthful judgment as the means by which to he and the media can continually harrass her mother.
Johnson is starting to display elements of a bona fide stalker, starting with obsessiveness with his subject. His dubious fame is tied to an achiever, so he’s nobody without the Palins.
Bristol is a young lady, with more than most young women her age have EVER had to contend with, including a national humiliation and butt of absolutely disgusting insults by grown men who should know better, but are just pigs in expensive suits. It’s a good thing her family is the kind who circles wagons and protects their own, she needs all the support and protection she can get.

Why, by using that very same wienie to impregnate Sarah’s daughter…and then by Sarah making the ill-advised decision to make him part of “the family” and haul his rear-end all over the nation with her on her campaign.
So it’s not like this guy just came out of the woodwork to bedevil her. She basically created, enabled and empowered him!

But you know as well as I do, Wanny, that if one of Obama’s daughters were old enough to become pregnant and had done so out of wedlock, you and your ilk would be having a non-stop field day here with her, her parents, various unsavory ethnic stereotypes, etc.
So yeah, while I actually agree with you that it’s pretty callous to make fun of a teen-age unwed mother on a national stage, I also know that you’d have no compunction about doing this if “the shoe were on the other party’s foot,” so to speak.

Mike W.,
What on Earth makes you think I’m a suckler at the government teat? I make over 100K per year. I pay a lot more in taxes than most folks you know (yes, I’m just guessing), and am happy to help out my fellow man, despite government waste and incompetence. What arrogance you have, that makes you think you know whether I suck at the government teat or not. You, sir, are an ignorant, under-informed loudmouth. I will happily discuss politics and policy with anyone here, but personal attacks on someone you DON’T KNOW will get us nowhere.
Mark in Kansas—
I have no love lost for Levi. But whatever his reasons are for doing what he’s doing, denigrating him personally doesn’t advance the discussion of what’s going on. Yes, he may be callously using his 15 minutes to cash in. But, as you say, people with class choose to keep their private lives private, but that choice was taken away from him when he was put on stage by the Palins and the Republican party. Maybe he’s reacting against his being used by the Republican party to project a non-existent family for the Palins. And yes, choosing to pose for Playgirl is a cash-in decision, and not attractive at all. But it’s not a straw man argument to say that it’s not he alone who is responsible for the situation in which he finds himself, regardless of his subsequent poor choices.
bg—liberals are not deprived, depraved, or deadened, regardless of what you’ve been told. We are neither ashamed or self-loathing. Calling your fellow Americans that does nothing good for anyone, except perhaps yourself. We are not “hypnotized, forsaken or disowned”. Demonizing those who disagree with you may make you feel better, but we are still your fellow Americans, and I guess there are enough of us to vote the current administration in to power, so why not engage in intelligent discussion instead of hurling futile insults?
BarbaraS–
Your post requires a fresh day to absorb and respond to. I appreciate those of you who have chosen to engage with me in an intelligent manner, as we are all Americans here in this great country of ours, and I assure you that none of you love this great country more than I. I look forward to more back-and-forth in the coming days.

Once he is no longer a useful fool for the Hollywood/MSM they will toss him in the gutter like a piece of trash. He can never go home again so he will probably end up like so many do once they have been used up by Hollywood and the MSM-just another junkie living on the streets.

In true leftist fashion, you`ve moved the goalposts and you`ve chosen to mischaracterize my comments. Be assured that there is nothing to be gained in engaging in discussion with someone who uses these tactics to frame the discussion. If you choose to respond decently to this comment of mine, I`ll re-engage. If you are unable to rise above the level of having to use those tactics I see no point in wasting another moment of my time on you.
To get you back on track so to speak, Levi Johnston and his actions are the topic under discussion, you`ve engaged in the discussion, and it’s disingenuous of you to now claim that discussing him “doesn`t advance the discussion of what`s going on.” You can choose to use logic or not, it doesn`t really matter to me.

Look… enough of the trailer trash crap. The rule is when evaluating people in trailer parks, round up. When you evaluate people in gated communities, round down.
Trash, however, is Trash. Rich or Poor.
As for being “forced” into the limelight: He had a choice to walk away from the limelight and be a non-resident father but a father none-the-less (a man’s decision) or to make a public spectacle of himself (a decision more appropriate for….. well…). And going back to blame the GOP for forcing him to be Speidi’s understudy is a joke.

“denigrating him personally doesn’t advance the discussion of what’s going on.”
Yes, even in Georgia, running prescription pills for your Mom, to her teenage customers; making noises to your GF that you’ll be a dad to your child then leaving the state to spin granny’s fame into a soft-porn career, supplying innuendo to aid her slander, keeping your own mug in front of cameras, earning photo-ops with other ‘child exploitation’ celebs,…, yes, even in Georgia this qualifies as “trailer trash”.
This denigration is exactly the subject of the post and this thread’s discussion.
Moreover, implying that a teen’s having a child out-of-wedlock is more certainly a ‘trailer trash’ qualifying behavior is most illiberal, even in Georgia.
You, Sir, are the hypocrite.

What a waste of a human being. If he didn’t want to support his child, he could have simply slithered away, and the Palin family would not be making him famous for it. But instead, he not only advertises that he’s worse than a lousy father, he also decorates himself with florescent sewage that says “I’m stupid, I’m a lowlife, I’m greedy, I’m shockingly careless, and I’m available to be used.”
Too bad, Levi. You came close to an opportuntity to better yourself through association with a better class of people, but of course you took the detour back to the sewer.
SanePerson commented:
Palin shouldn’t comment so much on Levi because he’s the father of her grandson and it gives him more time in the spotlight.

“Bristol is a young lady, with more than most young women her age have EVER had to contend with, including a national humiliation and butt of absolutely disgusting insults by grown men who should know better, but are just pigs in expensive suits.”
But you know as well as I do, Wanny, that if one of Obama’s daughters were old enough to become pregnant and had done so out of wedlock, you and your ilk would be having a non-stop field day here with her, her parents, various unsavory ethnic stereotypes, etc.
So yeah, while I actually agree with you that it’s pretty callous to make fun of a teen-age unwed mother on a national stage, I also know that you’d have no compunction about doing this if “the shoe were on the other party’s foot,” so to speak.
……………………..
Classic projection and stereotyping.
Obama’s daughters are not elected officials, they are his family. It’s totally irrelevent and morally scummy to talk or gossip about them, especially with any purpose to hurt their father thru them. They’re kids.
Their mother has indeed delivered political speeches, so any of her publically-stated opinions and public pronouncements – re politicking – are fair political and public debate. What she does on her own time, unless of course it’s questions about how she views the proper use of US taxpayer money to fund her shopping trips to Paris or some such extravagance that she normally wouldn’t pay for if it came out of her own pocket, is also “discussable.” If she’s snarfing up taxpayer money for personal indulgences, while Americans are losing jobs, homes and businesses, then it’s relevent and appropriate for public scrutiny.
Madame Carter sat in on WHite House meetings as a not elected or appointed official, but a spouse, so THAT sort of thing is open to public comment and criticism. Hillary Clinton tried to run her ClintonCare Health nationalization with her constructed committees and advisory counsels without any official appointment or authority, just SPOUSE, so THAT was also fair political and public business to discuss.
LIKEWISE, the same with the Palin children. They are not elected, they have nothing to do with politics, leave them alone. Mr. Todd Palin is exceptionally good at NOT giving the media ANYTHING that could hurt his wife and family. A lot of political spouses should take notes.
It’s an easy standard to apply and adhere to.
But the media doesn’t apply it; it holds a double-standard, a totally partisan approach – ooze and gush over and worse, COVER-UP the failures of their political favorites and use every method and tool to wreck who they politicially are in opposition to.
Sarah Palin represents a state that is heavily Native in population, even her accent is Native-influenced, her husband is Native, thus so are their kids. It’s not going unnoticed that the “trailer park” and “rubes” being thrown about reflects anything true about Sarah Palin, but on the Elite Establishment’s snottiness and racism against the Indian Nation.

Levi,
1)When you have to explain to someone the punchline of a joke, it’s not a good joke. The same goes for “winning;” if you have to tell people you are winning, you aren’t.
2)You are a living, breathing, non-thinking example to girls that abstinence should be the way to go and not cast their pearls before swine.

Gary,
I wasn’t the one to call Levi trailer trash, that came much earlier on this thread. I’ve never been a Levi fan, and I’m not defending his (reprehensible) actions. But he was put out there by the Palin/McCain campaign, so they are at least partly responsible for the fact that he is still in the public eye.

Collusion between the state and the media? The people that control the media are, almost to a man, conservative republicans. They will cooperate with whomever is in power, Rs or Ds. I am not a fan of nationalizing industry, regardless of which party is doing it. I feel for all those who were screwed by the recent failures, from Enron to Bear Stearns. And those were not caused be Obama.
Looting the Treasury? How much has been spent in Iraq? And for what? Freedom for the Iraqis? Then are we going to free all oppressed people? If not, then why just the Iraqis? And we don’t know if they’re going to end up “free” or not; that game has not played out to the end yet.
The Chinese have been buying our bonds for a long time; this is not a recent, or a liberal, development. The CRA is not the sole, or even the major, cause of the recession. Greedy lenders (and folks and Fannie and Freddie) repackaging subprime and bad loans and pretending they were solid investments caused a great deal of the problem. And I’m wiling to bet that most of the people who run the big investment firms are Republicans, yes?
This country is not being destroyed, all that we believe in is not dead. There are problems, but there have always been and always will be. And are you really saying that power-grabbing and greed are exclusively liberal problems? Greedy, power-mad people know no political party, only expediency.
Christian commented:
It’s almost come to the point where one can literally see evil working through the liberal establishment. By leading this vulnerable, ignorant boy by the hand through the bowels of their perverse culture, the tired, old hippies and their brainwashed student following are succeeding in using him to project an image of the exact opposite of what a young man in his situation should be.
He will regret what he’s doing now for the rest of his life. Fool!

Why didn’t palin mind trotting him out at the gop convention when his biggest claim to fame was knocking up, but not marrying, her underage daughter?
